Strategic Pursuit vs GovWin IQ
A contract database, or a funding answer? Know which problem you're solving.
GovWin IQ is strong at tracking government solicitations and contracting intelligence.

Strategic Pursuit checks federal programs against the real eligibility rules, shows the rule behind each one, and publishes its pricing.

| What we compared | Strategic Pursuit | GovWin IQ |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | A clear federal-funding eligibility answer | Government-contract market intelligence |
| Eligibility decision | Checks the actual eligibility rules; a failed hard rule rules a program out | Not an eligibility scorer |
| Data sourcing | Numbers come straight from official databases, not the AI's memory | Curated contract / opportunity database |
| Citation grade | The rule behind it, the source, and a last-verified date on every match | Opportunity records |
| Staleness gating | Older than 180 days demoted, older than 365 barred, discontinued never shown | Database-maintained |
| No-go discipline | Says no with conviction when the no-go is right | List-based |
| Time to a ranked dossier | ~8 minutes | N/A (it's a database, not a verdict) |
| Congressional earmark requests | CPF / CDS surfaced by locality | Not a focus |
| Pricing | Published: Practice $15K/yr, Growth $45K/yr, Enterprise custom | Not publicly disclosed |
